Kate Garraway was visibly upset as she grilled Matt Hancock MP live on TV on Tuesday (January 31) over flaunting lockdown guidelines during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The TV host was holding back tears on, as the Good Morning Britain presenter called out the I'm A Celebrity star for his actions and highlighted how her husband Derek Draper was left fighting for his life after contracting Covid in 2020.

Derek has since faced many health battles including sepsis.

On Tuesday's ITV show, she told viewers how she had repeated contact with the politician during the pandemic, and supported some of the additional measures Matt had called for.

Yet as she pushed back her sadness over her spouse dad of two - who has been fighting to overcome health problems ever since - she told the I'm A Celeb finalist: "I suppose the problem is you were the Health Secretary.

"Because at that time it mattered and my husband Derek was in hospital and not able to see his kids.

"And the thousands of other children who couldn't see people that they loved."

She added: "The rules were very muddled for us out here.

"This gives the impression you still don't get why they are cross.

"You still don't get why people are upset.

"They want to hold you to more account."

The former Health Secretary's affair with closest former aide Gina Coladangelo was exposed in 2021.

At the time, Matt apologised for his actions, saying: "I accept that I breached the social distancing guidance in these circumstances.

"I have let people down and am very sorry."

Meanwhile, Derek's struggle to overcome health problems related to Covid continues.

He is receiving specialist care and went back into hospital in July last year with Kate and children Darcey and Billy by his side.

He was diagnosed with Sepsis and a kidney infection.

Derek became the nation’s longest-suffering patient after spending 13 months in hospital.
